AMANDA KRUEGER

Lakehead University is part of a trilateral initiative that
will see up to 42 students studying at six universities in
Mexico, the USA, and Canada over a four-year period.
Amanda Krueger, a fourth-year Civil Engineering
student, spent four months at Louisiana State University.
She writes:

When I went to Louisiana State University (LSU) I was
amazed by the size of the city and the campus. I had the
opportunity to take classes that were not available at
Lakehead, such as Coastal Engineering, Airport Design,
and Hurricane Engineering.

I learned Cajun dancing, the Louisiana slang, and I
enjoyed the beauty of the French quarter and the garden
district of New Orleans. I met students from many
different parts of the world such as Germany, France,
Nigeria, and Puerto Rico, and also a few Canadians.

I was there during Hurricane Katrina
and Hurricane Rita when many of the
students along with their families
lost everything. The school was
closed for a week while the field
houses were turned into medical
centres. Living through those
storms is something I will
never forget.

If given the opportunity to
take part in another Student
Exchange, I would definitely do
it again.
